Seanad: National Task Force on Medical Staffing: Statements. (22 Oct 2003)

Frank Feighan: He appointed another man to the Western Health Board. That is more or less a statement that the Minister's commitment to rural counties such as my own, County Roscommon, is limited. However, I wish him well in what he does.

Seanad: Order of Business. (5 Nov 2003)

Frank Feighan: I support Senator Scanlon and Senator Kitt's proposal regarding a review of the legislation on licensing hours. The legislation has a detrimental effect on tourism. Rural Ireland does not have other facilities and tourists have to bring their children into bars and restaurants. I have also been approached on this issue by traditional musicians. We have many traditional music weekends around...

Seanad: Waste Management: Statements (Resumed). (5 Nov 2003)

Frank Feighan: Waste management presents one of the greatest environmental challenges to this country. I wish the Minister well because he certainly faces a very tough challenge. Fast-track planning procedures need to be put in place quickly because we have a waste management crisis. As a result of the Celtic tiger and other opportunities, waste generation increased by 89% between 1995 and 1998. The recent...

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Nov 2003)

Frank Feighan: I join Senator Maurice Hayes in recognising the commemoration for the victims of the Great War. My home town of Boyle was the proud home of the Connacht Rangers. It is only recently that we in Ireland have started to recognise the great suffering and loss felt by every Irish person in the Great War.

Seanad: Courts and Court Officers (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages. - National Drugs Strategy: Motion. (12 Nov 2003)

Frank Feighan: I move: That Seanad Éireann, conscious of the growing problem of drug abuse and drug-related crime throughout rural and urban Ireland, calls on the Government to tackle the escalating drugs culture by –Fully implementing and resourcing the National Drugs Strategy, –Recruiting an additional 2,000 members of the Garda Síochána as promised by the Government, –Reversing the savage...

Seanad: Courts and Court Officers (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages. - National Drugs Strategy: Motion. (12 Nov 2003)

Seanad: Courts and Court Officers (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages. - National Drugs Strategy: Motion. (12 Nov 2003)

Seanad: Courts and Court Officers (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages. - National Drugs Strategy: Motion. (12 Nov 2003)

Frank Feighan: I do not need an awareness campaign.

Seanad: Courts and Court Officers (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages. - National Drugs Strategy: Motion. (12 Nov 2003)

Frank Feighan: I thank all those who participated in this enlightened debate on a subject I fear we are not addressing. Senator Brady outlined the availability of ice, which is cheaper than speed, and its highly addictive qualities. The Senator made his case eloquently. It is a serious problem facing many communities. Senator Henry mentioned the great success of the drugs initiative projects. She asked if...

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Nov 2003)

Frank Feighan: Recently I attended a public meeting in Athlone on the subject of the Hanly report, at which all representatives of Government parties were united in opposition to the report and said it would not be implemented.

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Nov 2003)

Frank Feighan: I ask that the Minister come to the House to clear the air regarding this damning report.

Seanad: Order of Business. (24 Nov 2003)

Frank Feighan: In the light of Ireland's impending Presidency of the EU it would be appropriate to invite the Minister for Agriculture and Food to the Seanad as we seem to have forgotten that agriculture is still a mainstay of our economy. While it does not make headlines in the national newspapers it is very important to many Senators, including me and my constituency. We have a difficulty regarding sheep...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters. - Decentralisation Programme. (2 Dec 2003)

Frank Feighan: It is with great anger that I again raise this issue on the Adjournment. I have raised it on numerous occasions in the past. As the Minister of State is aware, four years ago the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy, announced that 10,000 jobs would be decentralised to areas which had not already benefited from decentralisation. The town in which I live in County Roscommon made submissions...

Seanad: Order of Business. (3 Dec 2003)

Frank Feighan: Many Senators have attended the emotive and highly charged public meetings arising from the Hanly report. The European working time directive, which will have the effect of closing many hospitals around the country, is due to come into effect next summer. In view of our imminent Presidency of the EU, I particularly urge Members from the Government parties to ask the Minister for Health and...

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Dec 2003)

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Dec 2003)

Frank Feighan: I would like some clarification regarding a matter. Last Tuesday night, under my notice on the Adjournment, either the Minister of State, Deputy Parlon, misled this Seanad or he did not know—

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Dec 2003)

Frank Feighan: I would like to finish, a Chathaoirligh. Either the Minister of State misled this Seanad or he did not know—
